The Cross River State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has asserted that the state Governor, Ben Ayade deceived the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo during his recent visit to the state.
Recall that the Acting President, who had visited the state was full of encomium for the Ayade’s administration while his visit lasted .
However, Chairman of the party in the state, John Ochala, in a statement played down on the commendation, saying the “Acting President may have fallen victim.”
Ochala said, “The Acting President may have fallen victim but it has not changed the reality on ground because Cross Riverians know Ayade and therefore would judge him based on his performance not commendation by anybody.
“What people don’t understand is that the Acting President was not in the state at the instance of the state government.
“It was part of his routine meeting with elders and stakeholders from the South South region. It is part of the APC-led administration’s programmes to address the challenges in Niger Delta.
“Has the commendation changed the fact that Ayade didn’t commission single government owned project in two years?
“Has it changed the fact that the much talked about garment factory is a privately owned company with Cross River having just 30% shares?
“Has it changed the fact that the Calabar Pharmaceutical Company is undergoing registration now as a privately owned company?”
